This 1990 Ferrari F40 is one of the lowest mileage examples in existence—with only 557 original miles on the odometer—and is one of just 213 imported into the U.S. market. The stunning machine was formerly owned by the late Carl Haas, an American racing icon who co-owned the fabulously successful Newman-Haas Racing Indy Car team with actor Paul Newman. The F40 shares a significant chapter in the legacy of Enzo Ferrari and his legendary car company: the name F40 pays homage to the 40th anniversary of Ferrari’s company and it would be the very last model that Enzo himself would personally approve and actively oversee with its design and construction.
At the 1987 F40 introduction, Enzo Ferrari took center stage and stated, “I expressed to my engineers. Build a car to be the best in the world. And now the car is here.” Less than one year later, Enzo Ferrari would succumb on August 14, 1988 at the age of 90. Enzo was well aware of his failing health and inevitable passing. Knowing that the F40 would be his final swan song, he was uncompromisingly resolute in making the ultimate Ferrari. With a top speed of 201 miles per hour, Car and Driver magazine described the F40 as “a mix of sheer terror and raw excitement.” This was a focused driver’s car devoid of any electronic driver intervention devices.
Likewise, the cabin was stark and purposeful. The F40 had a mid-engine/rear drive design and powered by a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine, one that developed 478 horsepower. The aerodynamically efficient body employed state-of-the-art materials of the time, including Kevlar, carbon fiber and aluminum—each of which contributed to both high strength and reduced weight. The F40 recently had its engine belts changed as well as fluids replenished and comes replete with Ferrari Classiche Certification, factory issued books, manuals and a tool roll. This is a rare opportunity to own Enzo Ferrari’s final masterpiece: the F40.
